#AustinSidewalkProject Update: December 2022

Image
ASP Overview This December, the project pushed further east than ever before, reaching several new neighborhoods in South Austin. Sidewalks were mapped east of South 1st Street for the first time, with multiple neighborhoods along its route being completed this month. OpenStreetMap view of South-Far South Austin. Neighborhoods mapped in December 2022 in blue. Far South FM 1626 There may not be a cohesive term for the neighborhoods at the end of South 1st Street, but two of them were mapped in full this month. Ashbrook and Meadows at Double Creek, both relatively small neighborhoods, sit at the southern edge of Austin city limits and are relatively unremarkable. Both have sidewalks on both sides of every street, which is nice and somewhat uncommon. FM 1626 doesn't have any sidewalks or crossings here, so despite being directly adjacent, the neighborhoods are quite disconnected. At least South 1st has bike lanes, albeit unprotected ones.
